[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 133489, member: 27883"] What are the temps in your garage there? How high does it get in the summer and how low in winter? Lats are temperature tolerant and fast breeders, but too small for large tarantulas. Newly hatched lats are good for the smallest of baby tarantulas. Hissers are very adaptable and tough to kill as far as housing and temps, but too big for baby tarantulas and slow to breed. Dubia don't do well with cool temps, but breed fast at warmer temps, and their babies are small enough for all but the tiniest of slings. Lobster roaches might be a decent compromise. Bigger than lateralis, but faster breeders than hissers or dubia. I find their odor when handled unpleasant, but tolerable. [/QUOTE]
